Expanded Learning Time/New York City (ELT/NYC) is a three-year 
demonstration project that seeks to expand learning time by at least 30 percent in 10 
New York City public and middle schools, with more than 2,300 students 
enrolled. The ELT/NYC project helps school leaders reorganize their schools to 
integrate their existing resources with those of partnering community-based 
organizations, with additional funds raised from public and private sources. 
Every ELT activity responds to a specific social, cultural, or academic need of 
students. 

Interested in an Expanded Learning Time Initiative in Your School?
Expanded learning time is more than extending the hours a student is in 
school. It is a thoughtful, coordinated approach to align extended day programs 
– afterschool, remediation, and summer programs – to support academic 
achievement. Afterschool Partnership offers technical assistance to educators 
and community-based partners interested in designing an Expanded Learning Time 
Initiative planning process and implementation in their district or school. 
Since 2002, the Afterschool Partnership promotes high-quality learning 
opportunities for school-age children and youth during the out-of-school hours 
through technical assistance, training, policy development and quality 
improvement. The Afterschool Partnership connects community-based organizations 
and school-based programs with innovative solutions, best practices research, 
policy expertise, and training on national standards in youth development to 
create successful support systems for student learning. For more 
information, contact Dara Lum Shackelford, Policy Director, at dlum at gnoafterschool.org 
or call (504) 304-9591 ext. 33.
